The Unofficial Black History Book

Juneteenth (June 19th, 1865)

Everyone knows Juneteenth as the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

But not everyone knows that the slaves weren't officially free.

This is the story.

Juneteenth National Independence Day, also known as Black Independence Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Juneteenth Independence Day, is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, observed annually on June 19th.

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African-American holiday.

Juneteenth, short for "June Nineteenth," marks the day in 1895 that Federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to take control of the state and ensure that all slaves were freed. The troops' arrival came almost two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Two months earlier, Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, but slavery had remained relatively unaffected in Texas -- Until U.S. General Gordon stood on Texas soil and read General Orders No. 3: "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free."

The Emancipation Proclamation

On January 1st, 1863, The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln. It established that all enslaved people in the Confederate state in rebellion against the Union "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free."

However, The Emancipation did not immediately set the slaves free.

The Proclamation only applied to places under Confederate control and not to slave-holding border states or rebel areas already under Union control. But when Northern troops advanced into the Confederate South, many slaves fled behind Union lines.

In Texas, slavery continued as the state experienced no large-scale fighting or a significant presence of Union troops. Many slave masters from outside of Texas had moved there, as they viewed it as a safe haven for slavery.

After the war ended in the spring of 1865, General Granger's arrival in Galveston the following June signaled freedom for the 250,000 slaves in Texas. Although emancipation didn't happen for everyone, slave masters withheld the information until after harvest season.

Celebrations broke out among newly freed African-Americans, and that was the beginning of Juneteenth. The following December, slavery in America was formally abolished with the adoption of the 13th Amendment.

On June 19th, 1865, freedmen in Texas organized the first annual "Jubilee Day". In the following decades, Juneteenth celebrations featured barbecues, music, prayer services, and other activities, and as African Americans migrated from Texas to other parts of the country, so did the Juneteenth tradition.

In 1979, Texas became the first state to make Juneteenth an official holiday, other states followed over the years. In June 2021, Congress passed a resolution establishing Juneteenth as a national holiday. On June 17th, 2021, President Biden officially signed it into law. 160 years later, it officially became a federal holiday.

Happy Juneteenth! Here's to continuing the fight for equity for our people. To having a good slice of the pie, and to being allowed to prosper without sideeye.

I have to work today, but that's okay! Y'all have have some grub for me at the cookout. 💙❤️🤍

how do you start doing low poly models like that? id like to start myself but im not sure

I have a bit of a leg up by virtue of having done a game art course so I already have all of the technical skills and such to do full proper character models, so the low poly stuff is easy by comparison.

That said! I tend to start with the hips, head and feet and work from there- I work in Maya, and use the extrude and multicut tools primarily, with symmetry on, model em in a t-pose for rigging reasons. The big thing is to keep your edges forming nice "loops" rather than spirals or whatever - that way, you can easily remove polys later- when it comes to 3d work, it's often easier to start high and work your way down than the other direction.

At some point I need to make another lowpoly character model - when I do so, I'll take a bunch of screenshots n add them on to this post to show the process!

#I am freeish this weekend so perhaps then.#Sorry I don't have any proper tips or tutorials anon I am not self taught I literally just took 2 years of classes #Wish I could help you more!#Feel free to ask more specific questions n such but if you're like. Totally fresh to 3d modelling #Uhh. Ccan't really help you bc i just. Took classes.

I've been out of the house since 9:15am. I had a doctors appointment, drove an hour and a half to my parents and spent the day there, ended up crying a LOT because of various things and Mom and I should not be in a craft store or a bookstore without an Adultier Adult. I got a lot of insight into some situations and realized what's going on has to end. Got talked into going clubbing with them, which if you knew what kind of club you'd be even more confused but I think I'm going out next Friday. Overall I've had a fantastic day and it was very, very much needed.

Why do humans have to sleep anyway? Why can’t I get 24 hours in my 24 hour day. I need those. I actually need more hours in my day. I have so much to do.

#too much.#why must I have an interview in two days and a deadline today and #another today. And also yesterday. And tomorrow.#entirely my choice to have so many things to do but still.#unfair. I haven’t even managed to find my resume (where did I save this).#the past two? three? weeks have been insane. Taking a two-day ‘break’ to attend an event #(I still had to work during the night and still managed to miss a thing)#anyway taking that ‘break’ made my schedule even worse.#there’s a free-ish week on the horizon. Freeish by my standards.#which means I still have to do a lot but at least Halloween falls on it #And. That’s good. Because while Halloween is not exactly celebrated here #my friend & I still have A Thing we do #okay. Now that this post is made I’m going to go plan stuff.
